Feeling Invincible

"How foolish can you be? After starting your Christian lives in the Spirit, why are you now trying to become perfect by your own human effort?" -Galatians 3:3, NLT-

The verse that I need right now. Many things happened today and I could say that I got through them feeling unscathed. Yet, I could feel that something in me, something dangerous has stirred up in me again and that is this thing I call negative pride.

I honestly felt so self-sufficient and very smart again. I knew I handled the troubling situations I had today with flair. I almost forgot that God was the One who gave me all the way out.

I want to feel afraid. Not that fear that paralyzes and makes me think irrationally but one that will draw me closer to God knowing that I cannot do things on my own. If ever I was successful, it was because of God helping me and holding my hand and not me fully and arrogantly believing myself. No. I will just hold on to God.I will let Him keep me. And admonish me if my heart needs some admonition.

Lord, help me not to feel invincible out of my own accord. Help me to feel powerful because I know I have You in my life. You hold me and keep me under Your wings. Thank You so much for helping me and for keeping me safe and for helping me find a way out. Thank You for showing me my gray areas. Thank You Lord and I will just get my strength from You. Always.
